So excited

Am getting so excited, countdown to Nepal has started, I'm trying to organise what we need to take and Dennis is organising dollars and airport hotels. Can't believe that this time next week we shall be in the thrill of it all at Bouda stupa, doing Kora with the Tibetan refugees, chanting Om mani padme hum as we walk. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. And I have the added bonus of spending time with Tempa Dukte Lama for Chod practice. We shall also re visit the Ayra Tara School and spend time with the young nuns. An afternoon in the hippie center Thamel chillin around the shops and bars and then into India to watch the sunrise on the Ganges and witness and hopefully participate in sacred bathing in mother Ganges along with the Hindu faithful.  We shall attend the sunset ceremony which is reported to be beautiful. And then to Sarnath where Buddha first taught his disciples and then to Buodhgaya where Buddha gained enlightenment. We shall wander around the many temples that have been built by countries all over the world and each will show its origins in its unique  architecture I guess like at Lumbini. Anyhow I shall look forward to blogging all our experiences and sharing them with you. Namaste
